Excerpts from 1000 Deaths
I am posting an excerpt from writings I began several months ago. It is a true story, written in the present tense, of life after burns, yet the story in its entirety does tells of the accident, subsequent hospitalization and such. The title 1000 Deaths is a temporary, working title at this point. […]

My Little Town––My Earworm
My father, 81, still lives on the property he acquired from his father in the mid 1950s. I visit him on a weekly basis, typically Sunday afternoons. On my most recent Sunday visit, I decided to listen to some oldies, via Pandora, on the Simon & Garfunkel station. My current town is about 20 miles […]

It’s Saturday Morning–in Honolulu, USA
I didn’t make my Saturday morning blogging goal by Pacific Time, but hey, it’s Saturday morning in Honolulu. I’ll console myself with that. I’m not really the sort to be happy coming in second place, but I am elated to learn I placed second in our university writing contest. Am I maturing? Maybe, maybe not. […]

Manic Monday
I missed my Saturday morning blog reminder again. I’ve been buried in geometry (gulp) communication ethics, and starting my book for my English course. I’m making headway on that book: title and one paragraph of two sentences. I console my self that it’s a start. On a side note, I accidentally omitted the “o” in […]

Font Nerds
One of the things I enjoy about Brick on the television comedy, “The Middle,” is his love and knowledge about fonts. On “The Goldbergs,” Adam had a font showdown recently. I don’t know why I chuckle at the idea every time, but I do. I’ve concluded that I’m a closet Font Nerd. Surmise this admission […]

Saturday Mornings
I’m here. I’m on pins and needles: reading over syllabuses and textbooks 📚 for the upcoming semester.<<<< On the plus side, only three more semester remaining until I will have completed requirements necessary for that coveted Bachelor’s in English and a minor degree in journalism (provided I survive a full four months of Math.) So here […]

Saturday Morning Blog––I’m here.
With all the horrors in the world, what difference does it make? –– Siggy, What About Bob? * I set my cell phone reminder two or three months ago to blog every Saturday morning. It wasn’t a lofty goal and it seemed very practical at the time. By Saturday evening, I would click complete just […]

Introspections and Cracked Pots
Back in the day, I made a dinner dish that my mother-n-law had dubbed “More Casserole.” With four children and a husband to feed, it became my go-to dish because it was relatively cheap to concoct, and I love preparing one-pot dishes. The crowd was divided in their opinion, mostly because it calls for frozen […]

MY SAD CAFE : Closing Out The 50s
24 September 2017: Excerpts of the lyrics from the Eagle’s song The Sad Cafe As I say good-bye to my first fifty-nine years on planet Earth, The Sad Café, a song by the Eagles, takes on new meaning. It has always been forlorn and haunting; maybe it’s the key it’s performed in, maybe it’s […]

Blogging: A Renewed Start
I began this blog a couple of years ago as a homework assignment. I’m back––without the motivation of obtaining a good grade, but as a means to write about my life; life as an older woman, student, and survivor. I realize this will severely limit my audience. I harbor hopes that through practice and persistence […]
